Megyn Kelly, Monica Crowley:"It's stunning." "Just when you think you've heard it all in the age of Obama, some other outrageous-ness hits you...now we have 11 countries piling on, in addition to our own Federal Government, piling on the state of Arizona." "I blame Pres. Obama & Atty. General Eric Holder for opening the door to this kind of offensive absurdity. They are waging war against the American people. They are waging war against one of our 50 states. And what they have done now is crack the door open for 11 other countries to weigh in against the American people...It is outrageous and it is a violation of American sovereignty."

"Why are we looking to Bolivia for its opinion on the constitutionality of an Arizona state law? How is it relevant or helpful to the 9th Circuit what Costa Rica thinks about our law?"

How do these 11 countries treat their OWN illegal immigrants? (Duh, automatic PRISON...)

"This is a concerted effort on Obama/Holder's part to have international law how sway [eventually to trump] over U.S. code of law."

"Every day you wake up under this Admin, there is some new craziness coming at you, some new outrage. The fact that our Department of Justice, the one entity @ the Fed. level that is supposed to be the champion of the American people in terms of justice, the fact that they are weighing in on the side of foreign Governments is absolutely offensive & it is absurd."

These countries can't control the drug cartels on their own side of the border. They're sending undesirables across. It is ILLEGAL, yet in their interests to get rid of those people, therefore they want the borders open.

"They don't care that it is ILLEGAL, and our own fed. gov. under Obama & Holder? THEY DON'T CARE EITHER!!!"

Brooke~ I KNOW! Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does...ugh.

Fuzz! ME TOO!!!

DUTA~ I think you're right. There's a WHOLE lot about the situation btwn. Obama & South American countries that we don't have a clue about...I'm not waiting around to 'understand,' I just want him OUT of office, so he will stop hurting my country.(DUTA, I've missed you. So glad you're back to blogging!)

I need to say it again - Obama has to have some kind of Watergate of his own. He has proven he lies, twists the truth, misrepresents the facts. I believe there has to be a smoking gun out there somewhere that will prove him unfit to be president. If only someone would find it!

As an Arizonan, I can't say that these kinds of tactics have actually taken no toll on AZ, but I can say that I don't know anyone, or feel no impact personally from them. This is, of coarse, just more Alinskism.

Rule 1: Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have.

Oh, I believe we've found PLENTY , now that people are actually paying attention (vs. 2008). It's time to give him his walking papers -- or at least his lap-dog congress.

Jim, dear~ So you're implying that you think it's good & valuable - on legal principle - to invite other countries to weigh in on our domestic matters of US Constitutionality? You believe that this is somehow NOT abdicating our own national sovereignty?

Good heavens, man. Obama/Holder's call or not, are you even an American??

Dan~ Glad to have you come by today. I'm not sure I follow your comment. Could you please rephrase -- my apologies, not had my coffee yet.

And yes, Alinsky. Like Axelrod's retort in a recent interview re: campaign finance $$. When asked what evidence he has that $$ is coming from foreign interests, "What evidence do you have that it's NOT?" Good heavens! What kind of junk is that!! Akin to, "How long have you been beating your wife?" ...duh...ridiculous...

"Good heavens, man. Obama/Holder's call or not, are you even an American??"

Every bit as American as you, if not more. ;-)

You rant and rail about things you know nothing about, like amicus briefs, and then rely on the likes of Monica Crowley to "inform" you.

Any party who has an interest in a court case has the right to file an amicus brief, especially if they represent people or entities who could be harmed by a decision one way or the other. BP or Shell Oil, foreign corporations, can file amicus briefs in court cases. Foreign citizens can. Anyone can. If you did any reading about this issue instead of just listening to Crowley, you might learn WHY these countries are filing the briefs and why someone with any knowledge of the law might take them seriously.

I'm rather amused that you and yours rail at any perceived "threat" to the American legal system from "ferin" influences and yet apparently have no problem with damn feriners dumping hundreds of thousands of dollars (proved so far) into the American election process.

I'm just as mainstream as you are. I'm not interested. Unlike you, I checked out more of the story than what Crowley has to say.

Crowley implies that the judges will use foreign law to decide the case. This has no basis in reality. There is a difference between considering how foreign interests are affected by a case and using foreign law to decide it.

I'm not afraid of a judge making an informed decision. Why are you? Because Monica says you should be?

Fredd! I read back through these comments & realized I hadn't spoken to you. Forgive my rudeness in not addressing your point! 'high crimes and misdemeanors:' grounds for impeachment It is an interesting thought to consider. Something we all ought to pay closer attention to - if we wish to keep our free nation. That is something, I believe, that is important to all of mainstream America.

Jim said (just prior to whining that we were not addressing his point; to which I say, 'we weren't missing the point, it's just NOT IMPORTANT TO US!)...

...but anyway, he said, "BP or Shell Oil, foreign corporations, can file amicus briefs in court cases. Foreign citizens can. Anyone can."Sure, if you say so, Jim-dear, our resident legal scholar...So, let's say these "interests" can, & do file briefs...the point is NOT that they're being filed, but that the JUDGE is AGREEING to HEAR THEM!!!! A notion to which I reiterate my original point...

AOW~ Thanks for stopping by...No, you're not gonna hear this on MSM. They're still water boys for BHO & Holder...

Joe~ Mainstream America? You, me, Fredd, Brooke, AOW, Fuzz, BetteJo, Dan, Sandy, etc. DUTA would qualify, except she's Israeli...Funny, how a foreign "interest" can be more mainstream American than an American himself (or our President, for that matter) -- and even SHE KNOWS that somethin' just ain't right here...

And lastly Jim - again ~ "I'm just as mainstream as you are. I'm not interested..."No. You're in denial.

Sad it takes COnservatives to tell America what's happening....if she's not dotted every i and crossed every t, at least WE KNOW.It is an outrage.....

I'm waiting for Haitians to be precinct checkers during the next election. Why not? We've lost our standing, we've lost integrity, we're under a president who can't wait to make us "just another country"...man, and the leftwing doesn't even realize what that'll be like. Funny, when you ask someone from the Left who actually does feel that "It's America's time not to be Number One anymore" they'll never answer when you ask "Who do you think would be a better Number One in the world?"silence.

Hi all!Sorry, I've been away for the weekend - taking in glorious Fall Foliage in the beautiful NC mountains!!!

Z~ Yes, "American Exceptionalism": a concept lost on the Left...If the US is not exceptional -- with Rights endowed upon us by OUR CREATOR (thus the exception, vs. rights granted by a 'king') then what country on earth IS?

Joe~ I'm betting on Monica...

Jim~ You obviously don't read Joe's blog. If you did, you'd see the redundancy of even making such a suggestion to Joe...

I'm BOTH Susannah. I truly believe that this "administration" is seeking to perpetrate so many outrages against the American people that it becomes a sort of "shock & awe" so that we become almost numb to it, to the point that we just throw up our hands. Thankfully it ain't gonna work!

DW~ Let's hope we're all the wiser now...& that it SHOWS UP in the polls today...& that the people we send to represent us will actually DO that...and that this man's hands will be tied - at least until we can get him OUT of OUR White House.
